    wolf primers

    I've had the primers fail to ignite 2-4% of the time with the batch of Wolf small pistol primers I bought last year. Using them in .40 S&W, in a M&P pistol.

    "we are so close" is what the anti-CCW on campus one texas are saying

    The campus carry bill is scheduled for the Senate floor again tomorrow. We have well over the simple majority to pass it there in the Senate, and since it's already come to the floor twice before, a two thirds majority is irrelevant now. After Monday, the focus will shift to the House - to get...

    IMI Baby Eagle and CZ-75 - same grips?

    I'm thinking about a laser for my wife's Baby Eagle, compact, steel frame pistol. Crimson Trace officially doesn't offer anything for this make/model. BUT... isn't it just a clone of the CZ? Are the grips interchangeable between the compact CZ-75 and a Baby Eagle...

    We Were AR Bashers Once, And Young

    http://www.aimsurplus.com/product.aspx?item=MRWBFAL&name=FN%2fFAL+20rd+Magazine+New+%28metric%29&groupid=4 That's as good as I've found for FAL mags. Is that an RRA rifle? I bought a LAR-8 a couple of months ago, with a 1:10 20" barrel. Don't bother shooting 147gr through it, you'll only...

    Shimming/raising iron sights?

    I got a quote for modifying the stock - at least $100. As I understand it, the rifle's not worth much more than a couple hundred bucks in the first place, and I don't expect him to do a whole lot of shooting with it. So am trying to learn what the cost of the different options are.

    Shimming/raising iron sights?

    A friend of mine has an old Remington Woodsman 742 .308 with the stock iron sights. He tells me that he can't get his face/right eye low enough to line up the front & rear sights. I've observed him shooting, and it looks to me like he *does* have a good shooting position and cheek weld. He's...

    TX open carry question

    And if it hasn't already been said, joining the TSRA will make your input on their legislative priorities carry more weight.

    Carry a Flashlight

    I rolled my eyes for years at all the chatter over "tactical" flashlights. Finally bit the bullet and started carrying a Fenix PD30 about 6 months ago. I love it - is constantly coming in handy! And 260 lumens is hugely painful for anyone who gets the light directly in the eyes. :-)

    Texas CCW laws

    "All correct but hospitals do not have to display the 30 06 sign. They are one of the places named in the law in which you can never carry. " That is no longer the case. *If* it's a teaching hospital, ie, part of a university, then you cannot carry there just like you can't carry inside...

    Texas CCW laws

    Here's a useful discussion on the texaschlforum on the issue of signs, complete with pictures. Please note - it's pretty unlikely, thankfully, that you'll actually encounter a valid 30.06 sign (like garlic for vampires). Hospitals are about the only places I can think of where I've seen them...

    16" or 20" LAR-8?

    Hm - can you use pmags in a RRA LAR?

    Have any post Heller/McDonald AWB cases been filed yet?

    There's one in Lubbock, Texas to change the minimum age for purchase of a firearm from 21 to 18, in both state & federal courts. NRA is involved, though I don't dare specify that they're the lead since I don't know for sure.

    Patience (Continued)

    Is that a license to *carry* a pistol, or just a permit to *own* one?

    Boy, how quickly a handgun feels inadequate

    Reminds me of sparing w. a couple of 6th degree black belts @ my school. They're both built like oxes, have 30-40+ years of experience, LOVE to have a good fighter to bull up against (ie, I'm not one of the women/children/lightweights), and will come at me like a bulldozer. Fortunately for me...

    Under 21 Concealed Carry OK?

    +1 - I don't think it's a wise tradeoff. If you wound up getting charged/convicted of breaking the laws, that'd throw a serious crimp in getting your CHL when you turn 21.

    interesting self defense story on my local radio this morning

    So now instead of caliber wars, it's going to be 'decaf versus regular'?

    I've the full size .40, have put the apex tactical sear & block in it, and carry it daily. Very happy with it.

    Springfield XDM 9MM or Smith & Wesson M&P 9MM?

    I've had both in .40. Wound up selling the XDm to get the M&P. M&P pros: ------------ rounded, ergonomic shape made in America lots of third party holsters/options available fantastic trigger (with Apex Tactical upgrade parts) less aggressive grip texturing cheaper accurate XDm pros...
